One of the
great hazards of aging is the danger of falling, even when traversing
the familiar territory around the home. Health care professionals
know that muscle strengthening, balance exercises, proper movement
and stretch techniques can greatly reduce the possibility of falls
and lead to a happier, healthier aging process. Bend and stretch
clinics sponsored by VNA Northwest begin with evaluation by a physical
therapist. The baseline data acquired in that assessment is then
used to demonstrate the progress of the individual when the program
ends. Participants find this a motivation to continue preventive
exercises at home.

clinics,
